We harvested the lemons off one of our lemon trees...

Five supermarket paper bags half-full of lemons on a garden path. Each bag holds about as much weight as it can.

Then a pair of eastern rosellas showed up 🪶 (this is one bird twice, the other one was more shy)

The Sydney Morning Herald called him a "NZ-born actor" but RNZ correctly reported his background

Neill was New Zealand's biggest international film star, yet was a modest man who shied from the media spotlight.

He was born in Northern Ireland to a British mother and a New Zealand father stationed there with the British army.

The family moved to New Zealand when he was 8, and it was at school in Christchurch that he first took the name Sam.

Wait, he moved! I still suspect he's at end of life, but we've given him a damp paper towel in case he's thirsty and popped him into a dim room ❤️

@jbhay.bsky.social @amycgale.bsky.social this is the first time I've found two solutions like this. Each using essentially the same techniques, just swapping which words you use them on greybeetle213.github.io/inflect
